Since we have interest in an eventual Alpha port, it seems good to add this
patch to our patchset now.  The original patch comes from Gentoo, and like
them, we would like to see packages behave consistently across our various
architectures.

Original Gentoo patch content follows.

--

Set the default behavior on alpha to use -mieee since the large majority of
time we want this (bad/weird things can happen with packages built without
it).

To satisfy those people who may not want -mieee forced on them all the time,
we also provide -mno-ieee.

Note: upstream doesn't want to take this due to long standing behavior, and
because it'd make behavior across OS's inconsistent:
	https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-07/msg02144.html

This makes sense for upstream, but Gentoo is more concerned about packages
behaving the same across arches under Linux.
